Rest 22
"Sorry... Who called us all here? Is there any progress in the case?"
It seemed like it was the first time for him to watch the detectives' mystery show. Sosuke Funa inexplicably felt like he was checking in at a tourist attraction, and it was a collaboration between high school detectives from Kansai and Kanto. The oldest member of the Water Plant inexplicably recalled the heated discussion between Julian and Kazuki Ishii in the group chat. The collaboration of popular IPs can really bring out the emotions of players...ah, do you want to take a screenshot? Is this the CG they wanted?
"Really?" Komatsu Masao looked impatient, "Have you found the murderer? Who killed mom Miyoko and Xun?!"
"First, let's sort out the order of events," Hattori Heiji said in a serious tone in front of the victim's family, "We were invited to investigate the paranormal incident that occurred at the Komatsu residence."
"The inexplicable disappearance of food, the disrupted placement, and the strange noises," Edogawa Conan took over with a serious look on his face, "Even the people living in the house thought it was just the family's imagination. It was not until Ms. Chie's death that Mr. Komatsu made up his mind to formally invite the detective to come..."
"Indeed," Fang Shusuke glanced at Sayaka inconspicuously. The latter was standing at a distance from everyone with her lips pursed and her chest crossed. "Although Mr. Komatsu invited me to his house, he has been wavering about hiring a detective."
"Is this supernatural incident related to the murder case?" Officer Megure frowned. "We have also asked the coroner to examine Ms. Chiyo's death, but it is difficult to determine whether it was a murder or an accident..."
"Are these all ghosts' fault?" Yuanshan Heye rubbed the goose bumps on his hands, looking very unhappy, "Because their territory was invaded and they were angry or something..."
"Are you stupid? We found it together, how could you forget that?" Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes at his childhood sweetheart. Now his friend was no longer afraid of ghosts, but only wanted to beat him up. "Ghosts don't exist in this world. Everything we found in the Komatsu family can only prove--"
"There is still someone in this family."
"Isn't that right?" Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows and showed a confident expression to the man who was carried into the room by two police officers. "By the way, this unknown gentleman," he turned his head to Sayaka, whose face changed drastically. The latter subconsciously wanted to run to the man, but was interrupted by Miyake Shouta who walked behind her at some point. She only needed to apply a little force with her shoulder, and the girl lowered her head and stopped resisting. "We found him after we removed the ceiling of your room."
"I think the reason why Sister Sayaka witnessed more supernatural events than the rest of the family," Edogawa Conan and Hattori Heiji echoed, "is probably because the entrance is on the ceiling of Sister Sayaka's room. In other words, she is the person closest to this stranger in the family."
"...We never found out..." After hearing this conclusion, Komatsu Masao's expression fell into a daze, and his hands couldn't help shaking with excitement. "We actually lived with a stranger for so long and knew nothing about it." His tone was full of regret, "Even my family was killed--"
"It wasn't him!"
